Read recap of the previous night's performances
Results Show – Week 5
For the first time ever, the bottom two teams of the evening will engage in a “Dance Duel” so the judges determine who will stay in the ballroom and who will go home.
Maria and Derek kick things off with an encore performance of their Salsa—the one with the kiss! Well, there’s more smooching tonight. This time, however, Derek plants one on Carrie Ann while Maria goes after Bruno. Love it!
Then it’s time to get down to the business of the elimination process. Maria & Derek are safe, as are Melissa & Maks and Gladys & Tristan. Then Train entertains the crowd by performing their hit song “Drive By.”
After a Macy’s Stars of Dance performance featuring Sheila E, Selena Gomez and the Scene take the stage to keep the party rolling. Then William & Cheryl learn they are safe. Katherine & Mark are also coming back next week, as are Donald & Peta. Roshon & Chelsie are also safe. That means Jaleel & Kym will face off against Gavin & Karina in the first-ever Dance Duel!
Both teams dance the Cha Cha side by side in an intense dance duel and both teams perform admirably. But only one couple can stay. The decision is up to the judges alone. After careful deliberation, Jaleel & Kym are saved which means Gavin & Karina are headed home. See you next time for Motown Week!
